However, she finally rested and was relieved of the pain her dad said she was complaining of. Her father, Josephat Momanyi, revealed his late daughter fell ill after a short trip to Tanzania, speaking to eDaily he said…

My daughter Mercy Mokeira’s health problem began when she returned to Nairobi from a function in Tanzania mid December 2016. She called me on phone and said she had symptoms of malaria. She also told me that she had visited medical facilities, but the doctors would see nothing wrong with her health.

But on Saturday afternoon his other daughter called him from North Kinangop Hospital informing him that Mokeira was no more.

On Saturday morning, I was yet to receive the results. Her sister told me Mercy Mokeira had woken up well but she was complaining of excessive body heat. At around 4:00pm Saturday, her sister called me on phone while crying and told me that Mokeira had not been talking and was pronounced dead at 11:30am. I called a doctor at North Kinangop Hospital who confirmed the heartbreaking news.

From the Ghafla team, we pray for the departed soul and offer our condolences to Mokeira’s family.
